Cold Isostatic Press Applications

Make more Alumina and Zirconia Ceramics crucibles

..." isostatic pressing is applicable in general only to small production quantities, typically less than 10,000 pieces annually. It is a more costly method than other PM processes due to its slow processing speed and the need for expendable tooling. Lastly, it is a near-net shape process technology suited to parts with much wider tolerance requirements than other PM processes can produce.
